Economy

The region's economy is predominantly agricultural and livestock farming, with a high production of soya beans. There are some important companies, among them the current soap factory Cooperativa De Trabajo Jabonera Cañada Rosquín Limitada, formerly Sociedad Argentina Grasos y Derivados SA, which deserves a special comment: as a result of bad management by its former owners, this factory was plunged into a state of bankruptcy that seemed to have no return. However, the employees, severely affected by this situation, decided to save this source of work and create a cooperative that took over the business. There is also an insulin company that is the only one in the country and one of only three in the world.

There are also dulce de leche factories such as El Rosquinense and cheese factories such as Alloa lácteos.
